Christian leaders respond to Alistair Begg saying people should attend “Trans Weddings”
The video in this post deals with Alistair Begg’s pro-trans remarks. From the creator of the video, Pastor Michael Grant: “Dr. James White & Jon Harris of the Conversations That Matter podcast respond to Alistar Begg’s recent advice that Christians should attend LGBT weddings so as to avoid looking like judgmental bigots. Begg is a long time pastor and leader within the Reformed Christianity movement. He also is a council member for TGC (The Gospel Coalition).”
Give Sin a Name: Things Unseen with Sinclair B Ferguson
Pastor Sinclair Ferguson began a new podcast titled, Things Unseen in 2024. Each episode is 4-6 minutes in length. This post contains the episode of 1-19-24 and a link to the other 14 messages he has thus far aired. I got my post of yesterday, John Newton’s hymn, via a reference he made to search the hymn. Ferguson’s most recent several podcasts have been about character types of Christians that Newton identified in a little book he wrote. Each character flaw will remind you of Christians you are in the midst of, perhaps, yourself. Ferguson’s purpose seems to help Christians identify their own flaws for future prayer….
I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow Words: John Newton [song and lyrics]
This John Newton song is introduced by one of the singers via relevant history of Newton that led him to write it and his most famous hymn, Amazing Grace. The lyrics contradict a lot of 20th and 21st century evangelicalism, as does the Bible, especially in light of Paul’s epistles.
The Spiritual War of Christian Sanctification via Washer – MacArthur – Lawson

James 1: 2-11 – Trials – Pastor Patrick Ramsey
This post contains a sermon from James 1: 2-11 on God’s purpose in sending trials and how to deal with them such that you might begin to know Christian maturity, fullness… being made perfect. Since all Christians will encounter trials from God to grow their faith, it is critical that you know how to go through these trials; upon what you should focus and why that ought to be your focus. This sermon makes those things very clear.

Agenda Weekly – Behind the Scenes – January 6 – 12 of 2024 by Curtis Bowers
Curtis lays out the case that the globalists are all communists. While many believe they are different, Curtis shows why they are not. Every major communist dictator of the last 100+ years was put in power, funded, and protected by the global elites. Every anti-American, anti-freedom cause or movement today is funded by these same tyrants, including COVID-19, Climate change, chem-trails, open borders, fraudulent elections, fake news, Marxist Universities, toxic medications, mutilation of our children, weaponization of justice, the destruction of the family, and the Great Reset….
Thy Will Be Done – Hillary Scott & The Scott Family
This post contains a contemporary Christian song by Hillary Scott. There is a second very brief wherein she talks kind of vaguely about the tragic experience that moved her to write and sing the song. If you have ever struggled through any affliction or trial, then the song will probably speak to you. That is certainly why it speaks to me and I am deeply moved by the emotions she seems to be reliving as she sings.
